abstract

In order to produce appreciable amount of primordial black holes (PBHs), the square amplitude of curvature perturbation must take a large value of $\mathcal{O}(0.01)$, namely, seven digits larger than the value observed by cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) on large scales. Such a large fluctuation can be achieved by violating the slow-roll (SR) condition within a short duration. The best known of such possibilities is the ultraslow-roll (USR) inflation. We calculate the power spectrum of curvature perturbation in a simple single-field inflation model which evolves through the SR-USR-SR regimes so that both large-amplitude small-scale fluctuation for PBH formation and small-amplitude large-scale fluctuation as observed by CMB are realized. We further calculate the bispectrum and one-loop correction to the power spectrum induced by the third-order action of curvature perturbation as the beginning of precision cosmology on small scales. As a result, we show that single-field inflation model realizing PBH formation can be constrained by the quantum correction.

  1. Hamiltonians to all Orders in Perturbation Theory and Higher Loop Corrections in Single Field Inflation with PBHs Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives all-order Hamiltonians via EFT of inflation for USR models and shows L-loop corrections to CMB-scale perturbations scale as (ΔN P_e L)^L, exiting perturbative control at L=4 for typical ΔN≈2.5.

  2. Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian and Higher Loop Corrections in USR Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In USR inflation with an idealized instantaneous sharp transition to slow-roll, higher loop corrections to curvature perturbations on CMB scales grow rapidly with loop order L and may exit perturbative control.

  3. How Dilatation Invariance Suppresses Loop Corrections to Curvature Perturbations on CMB Scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dilatation invariance forces the non-linear curvature perturbation on super-Hubble scales to depend only on the decaying/growing mode, suppressing loop corrections to the CMB power spectrum even with sharp transitions.

  4. Cancellation of one-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations from all scales

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    One-loop time dependence in superhorizon curvature perturbations cancels when all-scale contributions and boundary terms are included consistently via the δN formalism.

  5. Fixing the Renormalization of Inflationary Loops via Ward Identities

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Ward identities from large gauge symmetry impose model-independent constraints on renormalizing inflationary loops and non-perturbatively govern the infrared power spectrum evolution.

  6. The thermal backreaction of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime. II. Spectrum enhancement and holography

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Thermal backreaction modifies de Sitter geometry so that late-exiting modes produce a blue-tilted spectrum n_S ~ 2 while the boundary theory matches the 3d Sp(N) model flow.
